Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, Coit Tower, downtown, Fisherman’s Wharf…
the sights of San Francisco are numerous. All the more fun is spotting
them from above because they tend to look oh-so-different from a bird’s
eye perspective. But see for youself and join us on our musical tour of
“I Spy….” San Francisco.
San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California, and the
whole of the San Francisco Bay Area is home to more than seven million
people. During the gold rush of the 19th century, the city was literally
a “Golden Gate” for many adventurous fortune seekers. Though its old
name Yerba Buena (from the Spanish hierba buena, the “good
herb”) was changed in 1847 after the Mexican-American war, the term
still has a valid (yet different) meaning for many today.
San Francisco is located at the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula
and is framed by the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay.
Characteristics of the cityscape are the grid-like structure of the city
blocks, the many parks and green areas, bridges and islands belonging
to the city.

symmetry of the city grid is mind-boggling, making the photograph look

Alcatraz Island was first discovered and named by the Spanish in
1775. “La Isla de los Alcatraces” means “Island of the Pelicans.” Today,
the island is mainly home to cormorants, Western Gulls and egrets.
After being a lighthouse, a military fort and prison and a federal
prison until 1963, Alcatraz today is a national recreational area that
features popularly in movies and on TV. Holiday on Alcatraz IslandPhoto:
